Oh, it works, i have it on an external monitor now.
It's just a shame for such a nice laptop.
50 gig hdd, dvdrw, 512mb ram, wlan, card reader...
Original owner failed to remove his files, even his banking password is
saved.
I guess he's lucky the laptop ended up with me, i will erase the hdd.

Friend found it at the trash, is a 2200+ amd, screen is ripped off but
laptop still works, battery works and such.
So, has anyone a faulty one i can buy for the screen.
Underside says model MIT-LYN01
I need the entire screen, with plastics, inverter and such.
No need for power supply, a ibm thinkpad one works fine.

In the (likely) event you don't find an affordable LCD, you can get
useful service from the machine. All you need to do is get its
external VGA output turned on (it has one, right?) I used a screen-less
notebook for several years as a web-surfing machine with a KVM switch
(keyboard-video-mouse). Even a very old, slow, low-memory notebook
will work just fine on the web...even with broadband. XGA, 256 mb RAM,
Win98 (2K or XP better), are all you need. Actually 600x800 will do
also, but you might have problems with modern browsers.

Good luck!



Keep an eye on Eebay. You might find a dead one cheap and do a
little surgery.
